Chapter 176: Do your own sin, and you have to do it on your knees
In fact, the eighth elder brother Yinxi is bitter and can't say it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
You say this palace is a mix?
Don't look at the eighth elder brother Yinxi is the prince, and there is Concubine Hui as his adoptive mother on the side, but in fact, it is impossible for the eighth elder brother Yinxi to say that his life in the palace is hard, Concubine Hui is not stupid to this extent, but it is impossible to say that it is very good, in general, the eighth elder brother Yinxi's usual share has not been deducted, but if you want to get something other than the example, don't even think about it. What's more, with the capital of the eighth elder brother Yinxi, when he was a child, he couldn't even get the money to reward the minions for a certain period of time.
So everyone doesn't know that Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi has his own obsession with silver.
Now that he has a knighthood, it is a good thing to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and the eighth elder brother Yinxi was also happy about this matter before, not to mention that after leaving the palace, he can always receive some of the following filial piety, and his life will not be more difficult than now.
However, Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi's happy mood was wiped out in the next event, that is, his wedding.
The marriage of Princess Brother is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, of course, this does not mean that the woman/man does not have to do anything, at least the dowry and dowry still have to be prepared.
However, there is a problem here, last year the seventh elder brother Yinyou held a big wedding, that is to say, the last election of the emperor to marry the elder brother only the eighth elder brother Yinyu has not yet married, this is my normal feelings, since ancient times, the elder brother first married and then the younger brother can get married.
But this matter is left to the royal family, especially if it is put on hold now.
What's the problem?
The emperor has just canonized the knighthoods of all the elder brothers.
There is nothing wrong with this, no one can question the emperor, but the problem is that there is a rule in the Qing Palace that the status of the elder brother who has not been granted the title is regarded as the prince, although from the perspective of politics, the bald elder brother is definitely not as high as the status of Belle Bezi, let alone the prince and the prince of the county, but in this regard, no one dares not to take the bald elder brother as a prince.
Don't talk about the wedding of the crown prince Yinren, from the eldest brother Yinyou to the seventh elder brother Yinyou's wedding is in accordance with the prince's rules and patterns, and now the eighth elder brother Yinren has been canonized by the emperor as Baylor, so it is naturally impossible to follow the prince's rules, even if it is the emperor's love, it can only be in accordance with Baylor's rules, which invisibly loses face.
Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi was very unhappy about this, after all, the big wedding was a big deal for ancient men, although people of their status and status could find concubines, but basically there was only one big wedding. Although there is some kind of shady way to kill Chang Fujin and marry Ji Fujin, under normal circumstances, no one would do such a risky thing, especially when Chang Fujin's mother's family is strong.
If because of this, the eighth elder brother Yinxi will endure it, and only think that he is unlucky.
But the next thing made him almost vomit blood in anger, the emperor let the elder brothers out of the palace to build a mansion is not a reward for the mansion and the end of the matter, the emperor is a good Amma, and he also gave each elder brother a settlement fee of 230,000 taels of silver.
Doesn't that sound like a lot?
After all, according to the market price at that time, ordinary people could live for a year with ten taels of silver.
Two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver! That's a lot.
Rich, is there?
Of course not!
As mentioned earlier, the eighth elder brother Yinxi has an unknown obsession with silver, and at first the eighth elder brother Yinxi also thought that he had made it, and suddenly changed from a "poor" to a "rich man", but what the eighth elder brother Yinxi never expected was that the Internal Affairs Office still wanted to come and get a piece of the pie.
It doesn't cost money to renovate the house? It doesn't cost money to put pots and pans in the house?
Naturally, they all want it.
Although it is not as dark as "an egg and a tael of silver", there is still room for the Internal Affairs Office to make oil and water in the middle.
The eighth elder brother Yinzhen specially inquired, and the eldest elder brother Yinchu's settlement fee was directly shrunk to 50,000 by the Internal Affairs Office, and the other elder brothers were not much better.
As an elder brother, if the silver is passed on, he will definitely be scolded by the emperor, and then people will look down on him. But the environment in which Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi has lived since he was a child told him that silver is a must, and nothing can be lacking silver, so although Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi is well pretended, he has a great calculation in his heart in private.
If he has a subsidy like the eldest elder brother Yinzhen, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the fifth elder brother Yinqi, or directly obtains all the private rooms of Queen Xiaoyi like the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, or has no desires like the seventh elder brother Yinyou, he naturally does not account for this, after all, even in addition to the palace, many things that they usually eat, wear, live and travel will still pass through the Internal Affairs Office, and the eighth elder brother Yinxi's pro-forehead pinching nobleman Wei will still live in the harem, so it is best not to offend.
But the eighth elder brother Yinxi has nothing, how can he realize the "grand cause" in his heart without silver, he is not like Emperor Shunzhi who has a capable Empress Xiaozhuang Wen to do his forehead, and he can directly sit back and enjoy his success. To add insult to injury, his Fujin Guo Luo Luo clan is just a cousin who is staying in Prince An's mansion, and the eighth elder brother Yinxi, who has a dowry or something, said that he can't look forward to it at all.
Therefore, the eighth elder brother Yinxi picked the door a little, saying that he was very satisfied with his house and did not need to change anything.
Although he got the strange eyes of his brothers for several days, the results were really gratifying, and in the end, the eighth elder brother Yinxi's settling-in fee was still 120,000 taels of silver in his hand, although it still made the eighth elder brother Yinxi very painful, but compared with the settling-in expenses of other elder brothers, the eighth elder brother Yinxi's mood was much better.
But then another incident happened that ruined the mood of the eighth elder brother Yinxi.
Earlier, when Concubine Wen passed away, maybe it was because of a coincidence, maybe because of someone else's calculations, anyway, the ninth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu fell out, even after the tenth elder brother Yinyu completed his filial piety, the relationship between him and the ninth elder brother Yinyu did not improve, which naturally has the credit of the eighth elder brother Yinyu.
The reason why the ninth elder brother Yinqi was raised by the queen mother since he was a child because of his forehead pinching is a concubine, and his status in the palace is not low, so he is spoiled by some people, and his personality is a little impulsive and self-conscious. Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi, on the contrary, has a somewhat gloomy temperament and low self-esteem, so the two get along very well.
Eighth Elder Brother Yinyu was originally good friends with Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu, don't look at Eighty or Ninety get along well, but at first, Eighth Elder Brother Yinyu always thought that Tenth Elder Brother Yinyu was stuffed in by Concubine Yi to separate his relationship with Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu, so he seemed amiable to Tenth Elder Brother Yinyu, but there was actually a gap in his heart.
In addition, the forehead pinching of the tenth elder brother Yin'ou is a noble concubine, and Concubine Yi has always disagreed with him and the ninth elder brother Yinyu to play together, and the adoptive mother Concubine Hui is also average to him, and he and the noble Wei Shi who pinched his forehead always looked at him like an ant...... There is also Concubine Wu Yashi, she was obviously born with the same forehead as herself, why can she be the fourth concubine, and why is her forehead so humble and miserable.
This kind of all kinds of things distorted the eighth elder brother Yinxi's original inferiority complex, and he hated the concubines of high positions.
However, Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi still concealed it very well, so no one knows, after all, who made himself weak. But when he heard that the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang's forehead pinching concubine Zhang Jia's family was seriously ill, and the emperor intended to canonize the concubine Zhang Jia's concubine and assign her to Chongxi, the eighth elder brother Yinxiang completely broke out.
Empress Renxiao's sister-in-law was posthumously crowned as Concubine Ping after her death, who made the mother's family give her strength, and it was posthumously sealed, and the living and the dead are really a bit cheap. But why can the thirteenth elder brother's forehead pinch be canonized as a concubine alive, just because she is seriously ill, just because she gave birth to a brother that the emperor likes?
Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi was very angry about this, and he was very upset for his forehead!
It is precisely because of this that when the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to talk to the eighth elder brother Yinxi about the wedding, the eighth elder brother Yinxi suddenly became angry and proposed to hold a wedding at Guo Luoluo's maiden house.
This made the people in the Ministry of Rites stupid, throughout the ages, how could a prince have a wedding at the woman's house?
And generally those who hold weddings in women are door-to-door sons-in-law.
Don't think that the son-in-law is very glorious, he has everything all at once.
In fact, in ancient times, the son-in-law was very dishonorable, because his future children not only had to follow the woman's surname, but he himself was also a lowly, and a lowly person, although he was not like a slave, he could let the master kill casually and not break the law, but no one cared about the general beating and scolding, and the social status was not high, which was very despised.
So under normal circumstances, unless he is desperate, no man will choose to join the family, which is simply losing all the dignity of men.
You must know that even if it is a concubine of all dynasties and generations, even if it is the concubine of the princess of the Tang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, in fact, it looks like it is a concubine, but on the surface, it is not a concubine in the official, because at least the child still follows the surname of the concubine.
You don't see, some poor people would rather not marry for the rest of their lives, or spend some savings to buy a wife from traffickers, rather than be a son-in-law.
Therefore, as soon as Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi's request was raised, the people in the Ministry of Rites were immediately dumbfounded, which ......
In all fairness, no one would have thought that Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi would make such a request.
First, although the eighth elder brother Yinxi was small and transparent in the palace before, judging from the situation of the emperor canonizing the prince this year, the emperor also attaches great importance to the eighth elder brother Yinxi. Second, not to mention the noble prince and elder brother, as long as ordinary men don't even have a home, otherwise they won't hold this event in the woman.
Isn't this request of the eighth elder brother just embarrassing people?
The people of the Ministry of Rites were sad about a few hairs, and finally went to the Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor, but the emperor who had already got the news in advance wanted to be someone else's son-in-law for the eighth elder brother Yinxi, and this family was still the emperor's most hated Prince An's mansion, and when he was sulking and had nowhere to go, the people from the Ministry of Rites just bumped into him, and he was naturally scolded by the emperor.
scolded for a while, the emperor felt a little more comfortable, and finally let go, since the eighth elder brother Yinxi is willing, he will just go with him. Anyway, he is not ashamed of being a party, and the emperor is not afraid of losing face, after all, no one dares to advance this matter in front of him.
The people in the Ministry of Rites were scolded by the emperor and retreated, and the emperor had already said so, and he could only do so, and no one dared to pluck the hair on the tiger anymore. In the end, the wedding of the eighth elder brother Yinxi was moved to Prince An's mansion and was held vigorously.
To be honest, the eighth elder brother Yinxi was just getting more and more angry at that time, completely young and impulsive, and suddenly blurted out without going through his brain, and afterwards the eighth elder brother Yinxi woke up and secretly regretted it in his heart. The reason why Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi regretted it but didn't do anything to remedy it was because he also felt like others that since the emperor had canonized him as Baylor this year, he should value him, and if the emperor knew about it, he would not have issued a direct decree but would summon himself to ask.
But things were so unexpected, the emperor didn't summon the eighth elder brother Yinxi at all, and directly asked the people in the Ministry of Rites to act according to his wishes.
At this moment, the eighth elder brother Yinxi can be regarded as lifting a stone to hit himself in the foot, but what he said in person, he has to go on his knees. In order to save his reputation, Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi could only circulate another news when the news had not attracted a lot of discussion, saying that he fell in love with Guo Luo Luo at first sight and said that he loved Guo Luo Luo deeply.
Although this is still the case, it will be dirty, but an infatuated person is better than a person who is willing to fall.
Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi knows that if a lie is said, countless lies must be rounded, in order to make his infatuated lover image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and let everyone forget about it in the future, he must favor Guo Luo Luo for a long time, fortunately, Guo Luo Luo is a big beauty, otherwise Eighth Elder Brother Yinxu may really despair.
But he didn't expect that because he acted like this, everyone agreed that he loved Guo Luo Luo deeply, including Guo Luo Luo himself, so Guo Luo Luo Luo dared to pinch the noble Wei family to the eighth elder brother Yinxi's relatives in the future, and he didn't know if the eighth elder brother Yinxi regretted it later.
Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi is going to hold a big wedding in Prince An's Mansion, as soon as the news comes out, although there are infatuated lovers to do tricks, but who doesn't know that this is a lie, although everyone doesn't dare to say it in the open, but they are also discussing it in private.
Especially the elder brothers led by the crown prince Yinren and the eldest elder brother Yinren, for the first time in the world, the opinions of the prince Yinren and the eldest elder brother Yinren were unified, and they all thought that the eighth elder brother Yinren was crazy, too spineless, and it was simply ...... Lost the face of the entire prince. Therefore, the crown prince Yinren and the eldest brother Yinren were not ready to attend the wedding of the eighth elder brother Yinren in person, and felt that the price was dropped.
The crown prince Yinren and the eldest elder brother Yinzhen have the capital and confidence not to go, but the other elder brothers can't, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the Guerjia clan discussed for a long time and felt that they still attended, and even the congratulatory gifts were not ready to reduce the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, not for anything else, just for the royal face, the eighth elder brother lost them, and they could no longer continue to throw it as rotten.
